Episode 21 Decimate

Three strangers are about to face this mighty Golden Wall.

It's worth a staggering £20,000.

Will they leave with big money, or will the Wall come tumbling down?

DECIMATE.

This is Decimate!

APPLAUSE Thank you very much.

Aw! Hello. Welcome to Decimate.

Let's meet this lovely-looking team hoping to win big money today.

I'm Brian, a retired university lecturer from Birmingham.

I'm David, a train driver from Leeds.

I'm Tracy, an imaging systems analyst from London.

APPLAUSE

Tracy. An imaging systems...

What is an imaging systems thing?

Providing first-line IT support for doctors, radiographers, nurses.

So outside work, what do you like doing, Trace?

I really like scuba diving.

Really? Have you been anywhere exotic scuba diving?

Yeah, I've scuba dived in Saudi, in Jordan.

-What's the deepest you have gone?

-100 feet.

Found anything interesting?

Things like deckchairs at the bottom...

-Things like that.

-Really?

-Yeah!

Are you sure that's not the Grand Union Canal we're talking about?

-Welcome to the show, Trace.

-Thank you.

Hope you have a lovely afternoon. David, how are you, sir?

Very well, thank you.

-HE IMITATES HORN Train driver.

-Yeah.

What made you want to become a train driver?

My dad used to take me to the train station, see the trains,

watching Thomas the Tank Engine.

Just, yeah, from a very early age.

What do you think you're going to bring to the show today?

I've got a varied knowledge, so hopefully...

Anything you don't fancy answering?

Yeah, arts and literature. I'm not too strong on those two subjects,

-so anything apart from that would be good.

-Welcome to the show.

-And, Brian, how are you, sir?

-I'm fine, thanks very much, Shane.

Now you're retired, what do you like doing in your spare time?

Lots of different things. I'm a member of a murder mystery group.

What?! How did you get into that, then?

I do a lot of acting in my spare time, I'm into am drams.

So I love the murder mysteries.

What would you do with a share of £20,000?

I'm travelling around quite a lot,

-and I think I'd put it towards a further trip.

-OK, mate.

Well, I wish you the best of luck. Welcome to the show, team.

Here's how Decimate works.

Right here, the Golden Wall is worth £20,000.

It's divided into ten columns worth £2,000 each.

One at a time you're going to step forward to face ten questions -

that's one per column.

You get a question right, that column is protected,

and it will light up like this.

Look at that! The money stays in the game.

But should you get a question wrong, this is what happens.

DECIMATE.

The Wall comes tumbling down.

The column is wiped out and that cash is lost for good.

So the idea is to protect as much money as you can,

because once all three of you have played,

that's what's going to be at stake in our final end game.

-Tracy, David, Brian, ready to play? ALL:

-Yes.

Right, we need to choose who's going to play Round One.

To help you decide, I'm going to reveal some keywords,

and these are going to appear in the first round of ten questions.

So, feast your lovely mince pies on these keywords.

They are...

Right, so having seen those keywords,

who's going to step forward first and face the Golden Wall?

-Who's it going to be?

-I don't mind. I'll give it a go.

-Or do you want to go?

-I'll go first.

-Yes.

-Ladies go first?

Yes. OK. Trace, you're going to be first to take on the Golden Wall.

Before you do, your team-mates, Brian and David, are going to try

and give you as many facts about these keywords as they can in 20 seconds.

Right, David, Brian - help out your team-mate. 20 seconds - go.

-Right.

-Edward VII was Queen Victoria's son.

Mia Farrow was married to Frank Sinatra,

was married to Woody Allen.

Romulus and Remus, birth of Rome.

They were the Romans.

Squash is a racket sport.

Sliced bread first came in 1930.

Nicholas Nickleby was by Charles Dickens.

Yeah, Dickens, that's right.

All right, time's up, team.

Trace, did you find any of that useful?

Yeah...

Well, let's find out, as I ask you to step forward

and face the Golden Wall.

APPLAUSE

-Right, Tracy, welcome to the show, my love.

-Thank you.

You're not completely on your own, cos if there's an answer you're

not sure about, you can pass back the question to David and Brian.

If they think you've given a wrong answer,

they can buzz in to overrule you and change your answer.

But, as a team, you only have five overrules and five pass-backs

between all three of you over the whole show.

So make sure you use them wisely.

But I'm here to hold your hand - you're going to be fine.

-Ready to play, my love?

-I am.

-Good luck. Let's play.

Here comes your first question, to protect £2,000 in column number one.

I'm pretty sure it's Albert,

because I think they used to call him Bertie as a nickname.

I'm going to lock in Albert.

OK, we're locking in Albert,

to start our journey across Round One and the Wall.

If this is right, we're going to protect £2,000, Tracy.

We think Albert is the actual first name of Edward VII.

It's the right answer!

Yes!

Right, question number two, to protect another £2,000.

I only actually knew that

she was married to Andre Previn and Frank Sinatra,

but out of the two, I wouldn't have known who came first.

But I'm going to lock in...

..Frank Sinatra.

Column number two.

Was Mia Farrow's first husband Ol' Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra?

Yes, he was. Good start to the game.

We still have five pass-backs and five overrules in play.

Here comes question number three,

column number three, to protect another £2,000.

Mm...

Pablo Picasso was Spanish.

I think it's either out of Henri Matisse and Claude Monet.

-I'm going to actually pass this back.

-OK.

Brian, David, Tracy needs your help.

Well, what do you think?

I think it's Claude Monet, personally.

What should we do? Lock in Claude Monet?

-Yes.

-OK, let's lock in Claude Monet.

-Thanks, Brian.

Right, this is what it's about, it's about teamwork.

If we get this right, we protect column number three

and another £2,000.

-Yeah! Good stuff!

-Thank you, team.

Good stuff, team.

Question number four, to protect another 2K.

-I think it's ciabatta.

-Yeah?

Yeah, I think it's Italian for slipper.

-Yeah.

-Let's lock in ciabatta.

If this is right, we light up column number four.

There's no overrule from your team-mates.

They've got faith in you, Tracy.

Column number four. Let's protect another £2,000.

Yeah! Look at this! This is a good game.

Coming up to the halfway mark.

Question number five.

-I watched this programme on TV.

-Yeah?

-Many years ago.

-Any of those familiar?

-I'm 99% sure it's Wackford Squeers.

Let's lock in Wackford Squeers.

No overrule from your team-mates.

This is a strong round if we can light up and protect another £2,000.

Wackford Squeers, says Tracy.

Yes! Well done.

Question number six.

It could be any of them.

-Have you watched The Simpsons Movie?

-No, I haven't, actually. I haven't.

I think, once again, I'm going to have to pass this back.

OK, team, any ideas?

It's either Clint Eastwood or Arnold Schwarzenegger.

But I'm more pushed towards Arnold Schwarzenegger.

-So what should we do?

-Lock in Arnold Schwarzenegger.

OK, we're locking in Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Was Tracy right to pass back to her team-mates?

£2,000.

-Yes, she was!

-Well done, guys.

-Good teamwork.

Wow. This is a strong round so far.

Column number seven, to protect another £2,000.

-I think I've heard of Samuel Beckett Bridge.

-OK.

I could imagine them naming a bridge after somebody like James Joyce.

I think Oscar Wilde might have been a bit too...risque and out there.

I'm going to go Oscar Wilde and hope that, if I'm wrong,

the team are going to overrule me.

So we're going to lock in Oscar Wilde.

There's no overrule from your team-mates.

So, is that the correct answer?

-And you're right. There isn't.

-Oh!

Look at this!

To protect another £2,000, column number eight.

I've actually never heard of the first two.

Maybe Hecuba I've heard of.

Roma seems a bit obvious, but then...

..obvious is sometimes right.

-I'm going to go with Roma.

-We're locking in Roma.

To light up column number eight.

Was Roma the mother of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome?

To protect another £2,000.

DECIMATE.

-Oh!

-Oh!

The answer we're looking for is in fact...

Rhea Silvia.

Don't be disheartened, this is still a strong round.

We've only lost one column.

The Wall is now worth £18,000.

We have two questions left, three pass-backs and five overrules.

Here comes your penultimate question. Number nine.

Oh, I was dreading a sports question,

especially one like squash.

-I'm not going to pass it back, I'm going to have a go.

-OK.

So I'm going to lock in...

-..boast.

-We're locking in boast.

There's no overrule.

To light up column number nine, to protect £18,000 on the Wall,

is boast the correct answer?

It is!

Wow.

Last and final question, to bring £18,000 into Round Two,

to protect £2,000 in column number ten.

It's a four-month old, so he's very young.

I'm going to go with the most obvious one...

..and say In Utero.

We're locking in In Utero.

BUZZER And we have an overrule.

David, you thinking what I'm thinking?

-Looking at the album cover?

-Yes.

-What you seeing?

From what I remember, it's a baby in a swimming pool.

-And it's Nevermind.

-Remember the band?

-Nirvana.

We're changing Tracy's answer from In Utero to Nevermind.

If this is right, we finish by taking £18,000 into Round Two.

Nevermind, column number ten.

-Good stuff.

-Yay.

-Well done, darling. What a great round.

Go and join your team-mates. Great start.

How's that for a Round One? We only managed to lose one column.

So we have still got £18,000 in the game. It's a lot of money.

We're going to take that and spread it evenly across ten new columns,

and it's now going to look like this.

Not a big change.

There we go. 18 grand right there.

Each column is now worth £1,800.

Who's going to play next - Brian or David?

Here are those crucial keywords to help you make up your mind.

They are...

Alfie Moon! Wahey! CHEERING

So, who do you think's best to step forward?

-Brian or David for this round?

-I'll go.

You're going to go for it, Brian? Before you step forward,

Tracy, David, give as much information as you can.

He may not know who plays Alfie Moon.

Briefing starts now.

Alfie Moon...who's...

-Open University...

-Who's Damien Hirst?

Damien Hirst, famous artist, for doing the animals.

1st of May is a bank holiday.

German dish...

Leicester City - obvious thing that comes to mind is

the football club, winning the Premiership.

-Tyburn is kind of a jail, isn't it?

-That's right.

-Time's up. Any of that help, Brian?

-I think it helped there, yes.

OK. We're going to find out,

as I ask you to step forward and face the Golden Wall.

APPLAUSE

-Brian.

-Yes.

-Tracy's left you in a wonderful position.

-Yeah.

You have three pass-backs and four overrules still in play.

To protect £1,800 in column number one,

-here comes your very first question.

-OK.

I think it is Sleeping Beauty.

-Shall we lock it in?

-I'm happy to lock it in.

OK, we're locking in Sleeping Beauty.

Column number one, we think it's Sleeping Beauty.

Good start to the game. Well done, buddy.

Question number two, to protect another £1,800.

-Oh, I don't know.

-Three pass-backs there, if you need them.

-I'm tempted to pass it back, actually.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, I'll pass it back.

-OK.

Brian's relying on you, David and Tracy.

The main ingredient of the classic German dish Zwiebelkuchen.

-Kuchen means cake.

-OK.

Cherries is Kirsch in German.

Sardines...

I would go with onions.

-What should we lock in?

-Onions.

-Onions.

-Yeah.

They want to lock in onions - you happy with their answer?

Yeah, I am happy. That was what I would've guessed at, yeah.

If this is right, we protect column number two.

We've used a pass-back.

We think it's onions.

Yes!

Wow.

What a wonderful use of the pass-back.

This is great teamwork, by the way.

£18,000 still on the Wall to play for.

Question number three.

I don't think it's Nelson's Column somehow.

I think The Monument is a bit far out.

I'm stabbing here,

but I'll make a guess at Marble Arch.

OK. Let's lock in Marble Arch.

Column number three, to protect another £1,800.

-Yes, it is.

-Phew!

-Good stuff, Brian.

-Not bad for a Brummie.

No, you're right, not bad for a Brummie.

Right. Question number four, to protect another £1,800.

-Familiar with these bands?

-I think so.

-A little bit after my time, if you get what I mean.

-OK.

I'm going to make a guess at Kasabian.

OK, we're going to lock in Kasabian.

If this is right, we protect another £1,800.

There's no overrule from your team-mates.

Column number four - we think it was Kasabian.

It's the right answer.

Ooh!

Another strong round in play.

Question number five, to protect another £1,800.

Oof! Vladimir seems a bit Russian.

But I'm looking towards Michael.

But I'll be overridden by the team if they think something...

But I think...I think it's Michael.

We're locking in Michael, to light up column number five.

Yes!

OK. Here comes question number six.

I've got a confession to make.

-You're a Coronation Street fan?

-No.

-The Archers.

-The Archers?

I remember Jake was on Come Dancing, Strictly Come Dancing.

And I don't think... Spencer looks a bit too posh for EastEnders,

if you don't mind me saying.

I'm tempted to go for Jake.

Should we lock in Jake?

BUZZER And it's an overrule.

-By Tracy.

-Thank you.

Oh!

What do you think, team?

We were chatting, and Spencer was the one that jumped out.

-You think it's Spencer?

-Change it from Jake to Spencer.

To Spencer? Right.

LAUGHTER

-You all right?

-Yeah, I'm fine, thank you.

Right, my pal...

..his name, was it Spencer?

-Yes, it was!

-Well done, team.

I'll give you "too posh".

Right. Question number seven, Brian.

Come on, this is a great round, buddy.

I know this one.

I worked for the Open University,

and it's at Milton Keynes.

OK. We're going to lock in Milton Keynes.

No messing around.

Milton Keynes.

Come on!

Here comes question number eight, to protect another £1,800.

Louis Bleriot, he was French, and it was in the 1900s.

Arthur Conan Doyle, I'm not sure he ever went to Australia.

I'll have a stab and say Harry Houdini.

But if the team know better than me, I will really welcome the answer.

OK, we're going to lock in Harry Houdini.

-There's no overrule.

-Right.

Was Harry Houdini the first man

to successfully fly a plane in Australia?

Yes, he was.

-Wow. Good stuff, Brian.

-Top drawer.

Right, penultimate question. Question number nine.

Ah... If it's some sort of a nightmare,

I think it must be a shark.

So I'm tempted to go for shark.

-Yeah?

-I think I'll stick with shark.

OK, we're locking in shark.

If this is right, we light up column number nine.

-Yes!

-Oh!

Now, bringing £18,000 into Round Three

has never been done yet.

OK? Your last and final question,

to protect column number ten, £1,800.

I think, as it's 1st of May,

I think it's got to lean towards the left, politically.

So, Seoul, I don't think so

cos that's...they're obviously against the communists.

And I think I saw something on the news recently

with President Kim doing a big march past and everything.

-And I think it's Pyong...Pyongyang.

-Yeah?

-I think it is.

-We are going to lock in Pyongyang.

If this is right, mate...

..you join a team of Decimate contestants -

very few -

that have completed all ten columns in a round.

Oh, my God.

Pyongyang - is it the right answer?

Wow, mate.

Come in, buddy. You've done it. Look at that.

How cool is that?

-Well done, mate.

-Well done.

-Go join your team-mates.

Brilliant.

You've managed to keep £18,000 on the Golden Wall.

Every credit to you.

Oh, the pressure, David!

You'll do it.

Last up, though.

Remember, my friend, the more columns you can keep in play,

the more cash you'll be taking through to the end game.

As usual, your team-mates will have 20 seconds to brief you

on these keywords.

And they are...

Tracy, Brian, come on. Let's get David through.

20 seconds starts now.

-Panic Room was a film with Jodie Foster.

-Yeah.

Hans Holbein was the painter for Henry VIII.

-First woman...

-Does that mean anything?

-No, no.

First tee?

Must be something to do with golf.

-Dukes Of Hazzard, possibly.

-Yeah, could be.

-Battle could be any war.

-The Strait of Gibraltar...

There's apes on the Strait of Gibraltar.

Emergency could be a hospital programme...

Right, time up, team.

-David...

-Right.

-..ready to play, my friend?

-Yes.

Round Three. Please step forward and face the Golden Wall.

Now, we've never had £18,000 in play in Round Three.

-So this is new territory for me, my friend.

-Yeah.

You have two pass-backs and three overrules still in play.

The first question is worth £1,800.

Here it is.

When it came up, 112...

..was the one that I was thinking of out of the three of them.

I can't recall hearing 211 before, or 121.

I will lock in 112

and hope that, if the team feel otherwise, they will...

-Overrule?

-..overrule me.

OK, we're locking in 112.

Is it right? To protect £1,800 in column number one.

Yes, it is!

I'm feeling the pressure as well now, David.

One down, nine to go.

Question number two, to protect another £1,800.

It's not Meryl Streep. I'm pretty confident it's Jodie Foster.

-I'd say 80% confident it's Jodie Foster.

-OK.

We're locking in Jodie Foster cos we're 80% sure.

£1,800, column number two, Jodie Foster.

It's the right answer.

Question number three.

I've got to admit, I know history is not one of my strongest points.

OK.

I do remember Tracy saying that history was a good, strong subject,

-so I'm going to pass it back and hopefully...

-OK.

..she'll able to give me the right answer.

Tracy, have you got this?

-Yeah.

-Yes. Yes.

-What do we think it is?

-Anne of Cleves.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

We're locking in Anne of Cleves.

To light up three in a row,

to still protect £18,000 on our Wall.

Anne of Cleves.

Yes!

Right, you have one pass-back and three overrules left.

Question number four, to protect another £1,800.

I do like my festivals,

I've been to a few in this country before.

Never been to South By Southwest...before.

But when I've heard it on the radio

or seen literature for it advertising it,

I'm pretty certain I've seen it as SXSW.

I'm going to go for SXSW and lock that answer in.

OK.

To keep £18,000 in play.

Column number four.

Ooh!

All right. You do know I do get a cut of this if we win, don't you?

Just so I'm letting you know upfront, all right?

Question number five.

-I've got to admit, I've got no idea.

-No?

-No idea at all.

I think what I'll do is I will save the pass-back.

I'm going to go for an answer,

and I'm hoping the team may be quite strong on this

-and put me right if I'm wrong.

-OK.

In that case, I'm going to go for...

Margaret Bonfield.

We're locking in Margaret Bonfield.

There's no overrule from your team-mates.

Halfway mark. Column number five.

Oh-oh!

Did you guys know that?

-Yes, I knew.

-Brian knew that. Right.

Second half of the Wall, question number six.

A Bummel? Cycling? Hitch-hiking? Fishing?

I'm going to go for...

I'm going to go for hitch-hiking...

-is what I'm going to go for.

-We're going to lock in hitch-hiking.

There's no overrule from your team-mates.

To light up column number six.

We think it's hitch-hiking.

-DECIMATE.

-ALL: Oh!

The answer was, in fact...

-cycling.

-Cycling.

Don't be disheartened, here, guys. Come on, look.

There is £16,200 up there - that'll be over five grand each.

You've got a chance of taking that home with you today.

Four questions left. Here comes question number seven.

-Don't know golf, never played it.

-Right.

-Bet you regret that now, don't you?

-I do, yeah.

Yeah, I wish I'd have taken it up - that's for sure.

Again, I'm going to have to pass it back and, hopefully,

Brian, being a big sportsman, will be able to help me out.

Let's pass back. Brian, any ideas?

What do you reckon? Finnegan?

I'd take a guess at Finnegan.

It's got that Irish sort of thing about it,

so if you make a miss, you'd have a go again.

Yeah, exactly.

-Shall we lock in Finnegan?

-Yeah.

-OK.

All right, buddy, we're going to lock in Finnegan.

We have no more pass-backs left.

If this is right, we protect another £1,800.

Your team-mates think it might be Finnegan.

Column number seven.

-DECIMATE.

-Oh!

The answer is, in fact...

..Mulligan.

Right, the Wall is still worth £14,400.

Question number eight.

I think, when it first came up,

tanks was the one that I was thinking of.

First World War...

If the team think I'm wrong on that, they may overrule me.

Yeah, I'm going to go for first gut instinct, I'm going to go for tanks.

OK, we're locking in tanks.

Brian's nodding. He thinks you might have this.

-Good.

-To protect column number eight,

we think it's tanks.

To protect another £1,800.

Yes!

Wow!

Here comes question number nine.

I was in the Costa Del Sol a couple of weeks back,

and we were going to take a trip to Gibraltar

cos it's not far from there.

I'm trying to think, on the map, as to which of those is the closest.

But I think Tangier is probably the one, out of those three.

Yeah, I'm fairly confident it's Tangier.

Right, let's lock in Tangier.

If this is right, we protect another £1,800.

Column number nine.

Tangier.

Yes!

We have one question left.

To bring £14,400 into our end game.

Before they came up, I was hoping to see General Lee on there.

I'm happy it came up.

Really confident that General Lee is the answer.

OK. We're locking in General Lee.

If this is right...

-Pressure.

-..£14,400

we're going to be playing for in our end game.

General Lee,

to light up column number ten.

Oh, mate.

APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH

Good stuff, buddy. Go and join your team-mates.

What a team you three have been so far.

You all helped each other out magnificently

and that's how you play the game.

Between all three of you, you've managed to keep £14,400

on the Golden Wall.

But now, it's the big moment.

The chance to win that money.

And here's how it works.

We divide the cash once more into ten equal columns.

We do a little reshuffle, and it's now going to look like this.

Wow. 14,400, right there on the Wall.

Now, to leave with that cash,

you must work your way across the Wall one last time,

lighting up all ten columns.

But now, we're up against the clock.

We only have two minutes to do it.

You'll get three chances to light up each column,

but of course, the more questions you need,

the more time we're going to use up.

Get all three questions wrong,

we lose the column and the cash is lost.

You rebuild the Wall

and a team-mate must take over from where you left off.

Now, if, as a team, you fail to light up all ten columns, sadly -

please don't let this happen - you're going to leave with nothing.

So...before we decide who's going to face the final Wall,

here are your ten keywords.

They are...

So, Brian, David, Tracy, who is going to face the Wall first?

Who's it going to be?

Now, all three of you had strong rounds.

I wouldn't know what to do here.

Shall we go in the same we went with before?

-Would you be happy with that, Tracy?

-You go first?

-OK.

-OK. And then I'll go second?

-OK.

So, Tracy, the responsibility has fallen to you.

Please join me and face the final Golden Wall.

APPLAUSE

Here we go.

Light up all ten columns within the time

and you, Brian and David will leave with £14,400.

Let's put two minutes on the clock.

That time will start

when I finish reading the first question.

The clock has stopped, the money has been decimated.

by protecting all ten columns?

We need a new keyword, which is...

George.

Right, Brian, Dave, one of you must now step up

and try and complete the journey across the Wall.

-Who is it going to be?

-It's me.

Right, will you please step forward and face the Golden Wall?

APPLAUSE

Right, Brian, we're playing for £12,960.

One minute 11 seconds left.

The clock will restart

when I finish asking this question.

Good luck, Brian.

-Yeah.

Listen, thanks for being good sports.

Definitely.

Well, join me next time to see whether

Take care, everybody, goodbye.

APPLAUSE
